I've been sick

[Nox]

Cruz watched as things happened so fast. The fight had started and ended all before he could even form a rational thought. Rachel was clinging to his arm and he was happy about that but the whole thing was scaring him as well. What the fuck was this guy? Cruz didn't understand any of it. But Emily walked in things seemed to smooth over. But it was nice to see the elder Shale again.

Introductions were made she didn't even smile at Nox. He even didn't respond, almost looked like he was worried. Suited him right. He was an ass it was good someone was putting him on the edge. She wanted to talk to Nox... about the same thing he had.

****

Nox nodded at Emily and took a step back and sat down as far from Emily as he could. Ayden had hit him. Emily was more entitled to that. She wanted to talk - everyone wanted to know what the Atharim would do. "You are not in the system as of Siberia. They don't know you exist. I never told them. Aria never told them. No one will hunt you. Your association with Dorian Vega may put you under more scrutiny than usual. He's Atharim - done something not so good, and his son's a god. When they find out, and they will find out, the Vega's will become a target. Cruz, here, is the only one at risk of telling his father what you are. But I doubt Dorian will be calling you in either. Considering his sons' girlfriend is your sister."


Nox frowned. He suddenly had a headache. This was not a very good day at all.

Cruz's wallet beeped and he took a look at it, frowning as he looked up at Nox. A few moments later Nox's wallet beeped. He took a look at it. It was from Dorian. Nox assumed his son got a similar message. Please stay with my son until I get a chance to get home. My cover is shot here.

Nox sighed. "Like I side not so good."
Nox looked at Cruz and frowned. "I'm sorry man."


Cruz nodded. "Just don't throw anymore fireballs at anyone else, okay?"

Nox nodded. "You might want to rethink that statement when the Atharim come knocking."
